Here's an argument for legalising drugs

It'll make the nation easier to control. A country full of mind-addled addicts isn't going to care too much what the government does. Though, it will mean that our productivity will plummet, so, I suppose a government needs to tread a fine line here.

Good call, Simon Power. Don't soften up on illegal drugs. The cost will be too high.

    Though, my more immediate objection to liberalising illegal drugs is the direct harm they do to individuals.

    Those so called freedom fighters who are all for liberalising drugs should think about the effects that they are fighting for - slavery to drug addiction.
